Max Purdie and Petra Rijnbeek (Chicane Duo)
Petra has been singing since her late teens, mostly overseas to start but then came on the Jazz scene singing at the Waiheke Jazz festival in its early years and later in the Mission Bay Jazz Festival. She trained under Cheryl McClay and was invited to join the Sammy Davis Jnr School of Music in 1996. She has had the pleasure of jamming with Charmaine Neville and Lillian Bute, also the Paris Swing Orchestra and local talent like Leon Wharekura, Peta and the Weta’s and Carl Mose. Petra has been likened to Sarah Vaughan with a twist of Norah Jones and loves to bring the modern performers to the repertoire mix.

Keyboard is handled by the accomplished Max Purdie who is in other bands such as The Rum and Boogie Band and Peta and the Weta’s. With over 40 years in the business playing in the early days with Sunny Day and Roger Fox and also appearing on a successful music show. Max also started the Mission Bay Jazz festival; Max is dynamic on the keys and a legend in the Jazz scene.

Grant P Chilcott
For over 20 years, Grant Chilcott's career has spanned an enviable variety of music. He makes an impact with swinging vocals and the Big Band sound, can move to the austere elegance of the Noel Coward repertoire, and then raise the temperature with the contrasting vibrancy of Latin American rhythms - plus throwing in some startling vocal impressions of Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Mario Lanza. Grant  has stepped in front to solo position with the Auckland Phil harmonia; won a Mobil radio award for Best musical programme of the year; and recorded cds with a theme, such as the latest  - "Songs From the Movies" with the NZSO strings and brass.  To date, Chilcott is the only New Zealand artist to appear on the New York recording label MMO.
